The panic happens in hfi1_ipoib_txreq_deinit() because there is a NULL deref when hfi1_ipoib_netdev_dtor() is called in this error case.

hfi1_ipoib_txreq_init() and hfi1_ipoib_rxq_init() are self unwinding so fix by adjusting the error paths accordingly.

Other changes:

  • hfi1_ipoib_free_rdma_netdev() is deleted including the free_netdev() since the netdev core code deletes calls free_netdev()
  • The switch to the accelerated entrances is moved to the success path.
